Many homeowners simply stash seasonal items and old furniture in the attic and don't give the space much thought. However, the attic is still a part of your home, and what goes on there affects the rest of your house. This is especially true when it comes to insulation.

Adding insulation to your home has long been known to benefit your quality of life by helping to regulate the home's temperature, thus resulting in lower utility bills and fewer complaints about heaters and air conditioners. However, adding insulation also increases the soundproofing in the home. This not only makes the home more pleasant to live in, but it also has beneficial effects on your health.
